Explore Scientific 10-inch Hybrid Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope - DOB1045C

Explore Scientific 10-inch Hybrid Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope

by Explore Scientific
$649.95

Description

This telescope is a hybrid truss-tube Dobsonian with a secondary-mirror held inside a tube instead of an open cage, a design that optimizes stiffness and minimizes weight. Perfect for deep-sky observers, it boasts a 254mm mirror for exceptional light collection and reveals details of planets and deep-sky objects with incredible clarity.

The white aluminum-tube secondary and single-speed focuser (upgradeable) set it apart from the Explore Scientific Generation II model, and the optional accessory shroud offers improved contrast and dew protection for the primary mirror. Disassembling the scope without tools ensures easy transportation, even in small vehicles, making it an ideal choice for any stargazing expedition.
